About the band

Dark Star Orchestra

Chicago, IL · since 1997

Dark Star Orchestra built its reputation on a simple, audacious premise: rather than assembling a greatest-hits set, the band performs the setlist of an actual Grateful Dead concert from a particular date, chasing the arrangements, the tones, and the personnel of that era. The band comes through the Bay Area most winters — its 2026 run included two nights at Oakland's Fox Theater — and the fall 2026 tour stays east of the Rockies.

The venue

Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom

169 Ocean Blvd · Hampton Beach, NH

Seasonal beachfront ballroom that opened in 1899 on Hampton Beach's boardwalk, running roughly April through November. Capacity is about 1,800 seated or 2,200 general admission; it is not a gambling casino despite the name.
